Installation
The Subwoofer is a virtually omnidirectional speaker, so it can
be installed in almost any location. For example, the Subwoofer
can be installed next to the component system (consisting of
an amplifier, tuner, cassette deck, etc.), or in a corner of the
room, etc.. The subwoofer’s deep-bass reproduction charac-
teristics are richest when the subwoofer is installed in a corner
or near a wall. Since the low-bass component in music is usu-
ally monaural, only one subwoofer is necessary to obtain a
sufficient stereo effect when used in combination with a ste-
reo music system.
CAUTION
To assure ventilation, observe the following points
when installing the unit.
• Leave a distance of more than 10 cm between the
Subwoofer back and the surrounding wall(s).
Use special care not to cover the heat sink with a cur-
tain, etc. when installing.
• Do not place the equipment onto a bed, a sofa, a carpet,
or similar. Sucked-in dust can cause fire.
• Be sure to install the Subwoofer vertically.
